It is located about 80 kilometers northeast of the Oblast capital Donetsk and was founded in 1954 as a mining town to mine the coal deposits near the village of Krestowka (Крестовка). Kirowske, which is named after the Soviet party functionary Sergei Mironowitsch Kirov , has had city status since 1958, and since 1987 it has been a city under oblast administration.
